FIRST LEGO League Explore
2017-2018 awards ceremony, held at Gideon Welles School
|
FIRST LEGO League Explore is designed for students in grades 2-4. Participants receive an "engineering workbook" to follow along with some of the activities led by the coaches, our parent volunteers. There are 2 coaches per team, with a maximum of 6 students per team (including their own children). All coaches have to pass a background check offered through the Glastonbury Board of Education. The best way to ensure participation for your child is by coaching. No prior experience or particular expertise is required to coach... just commitment, patience and a positive attitude to make it fun!

They are responsible for every aspect of leading the team along a fun journey, culminating in sharing a completed model and trifold display at the Expo!
